#100 of 167 Miata in the middle of the winter by sellaturcica Dec 14, 2007 (2:06 am)
Was just wondering how much you could deal on a Miata in the dead of winter her in Connecticut. It's snowing now. There's a dealer near me that still has a 2007 Touring with suspension pack, which is what I would want- how much can they deal on these cars, are they just resigned to keeping them until spring at this point? Sitcker was around $23,500. According to Edmunds, there $1,000 of marketing support from Mazda. Anyone know anything else available?
#101 of 167 Massachusetts price by bjc_in_mass Dec 16, 2007 (7:24 am)
Just (yesterday) bought an '08 PRHT with Premium and Suspension packages, stormy blue, plus a few dealer options. MSRP was 29,627. Dealer Invoice was 26,611. First offered 27,000 -paid 27,700. Prob could have got 27.5K, but I'm not into haggling. Mazda Gallery in Norwood, but car was originally shipped to another dealer. Hope this helps someone.
#102 of 167 S-plan question by babyrocket Jan 08, 2008 (9:34 am)
I've seen many references to people taking advantage of S-plan pricing. Am I to assume that all of these people are eligible for the S-plan (Mazda employee or their family, or approved Mazda partner)? Or is the S-plan open to anyone smart enough to bring it up in the negotiation process?   Thanks -   Patrick

#107 of 167 S-Plan not honored in Las Vegas/What I paid for a used... by rerednaw Mar 13, 2008 (9:22 am)
Replying to: kyfdx (Jan 27, 2008 7:09 pm) Been shopping since November 2007. I offered cash up front for a 2008 if the dealer would adhere to the S-Plan. Both Mazda dealerships in town declined. I expanded my inquiries to Arizona and California. Any dealer within 500 miles of me said no. With the PRHT some were offering MSRP+ (up to 5k) which I considered ridiculous. For $30k+ I'm looking at a bunch of alternatives.   So I went ahead and decided to buy used. Went with a 2006. 3rd generation and the last one to have a 4yr/50k warranty. 07 and 08 now I have 3yr/36k. Touring 6 speed automatic. Certified one owner, 10k miles, clean title. Runs fine so far. I paid $15k. Could have probably bargained lower...   Considering that in Las Vegas no dealer would go below $17000 (before tax and their obscene $400 doc fee which doesn't include plates or registration by the way, you do that yourself here) for a 06 sport, I think I did okay.   Bought out of state so I have to pay sales tax in NV when I register (ouch). I've picked up or ordered some other items (see below for a breakdown on cost)   Not quite used to the automatic. Even with the tip-tronic, there's a delay in shifting (very noticeable from 1st to 2nd). In automatic mode shifting is a bit easier, although there is the tendency to auto-downshift which is annoying at the shifting-breakpoint speeds. Another funny quirk, if you make your turns easy, the turn signal doesn't shut off. Handling is excellent. Steering is quite responsive. Not much noticeable sidesway.   My previous experiences are with a S2000 (04) and a Carrera (07). While not having as much pep, overall this car has been very enjoyable and for day to day top down cruising the MX-5 is hard to beat.   So far my cost:   Car $15000 Seat Covers $150 (black interior in Vegas summers = bad idea) Mud Guards $150 (plus a couple of hours of sweat and cursing the teeny-tiny instructions. The silly plastic bolts unscrew dammit...and why do dealer mechanics not install bolts to the proper torque specs?) Dealer touch-up paint $6 Door edge guards $2 Dash cover $40 Carfax 30 days $30 K&N Air Filter $36.50 (no tax, free shipping) Shipping $500 (pesky California law) Doc fee $55 (reasonable for a dealer) Insurance $900/yr Registration $1200 (estimated) ========================= Total cost to me so far: 18,069.50
#108 of 167 New 08 GT PRHT Buying Experience by peterrabbid Apr 01, 2008 (8:23 pm)
I wanted a black GT PRHT with everything except Sirius radio. I found two in the Houston area by using the MazdaUSA.com inventory search tool (this is a fantastic tool. Thanks Mazda!)   I started with one of those buying services where they have a supposedly pre-negotiated price. HAH! The one dealer in my area that was on this plan sent me e-mail after e-mail trying to explain how they were getting several $1000 over MSRP. I went to another dealer and dealed down to a few hundred over MSRP, but asked them to hold the deal for 24 hours.   The third dealer went back and forth a few times, but I ended up paying what I was hoping and drove out with the exact car I wanted at several hundred under the MSRP. The guys at Joe Myers in Houston were excellent to work with and I was well pleased. Replies to this message: miatamama1 (Apr 02, 2008 3:32 am)

Replying to: peterrabbid (Apr 01, 2008 8:23 pm) It seems to me that pricing is all over the map. I am not sure if it's the part of the country you are in or what.   I contacted a number of dealerships by email and went into several. Nobody would budge off of sticker price. However, that was also when some were still on the boat and had not arrived at the dealership and they didn't have many in stock. Anyway, I paid sticker for 08 PRHT Grand Touring. I have decided I will NEVER do that again. This car is special and a one-timer for me.
